Subject: A total difference typye of bot

When I first decided to join the beam groupI heard about it through=
a article in a magizine. It talked alot about different bots that Mark Til=
den had built at the time I was interested in the walkers and photovores, b=
ut now after being in beam for a while I am interested in another type of b=
ot that the article metions. These bots move by themselves but did not have=
their own solar panels instead they moved around connecting to plant like =
solar collectors that charged these bots and then let them go. I recently h=
ave lost the article so I can not be sure that all of this is right. Yet I =
am interest in creating something like this and have been searching for web=
pages about them or with pictures of one but can not find any. Has anyone e=
ver built one of these plants and a bot to work with it? If so could you pl=
ease tell me where I could find information on this type of bot and any giv=
e me any help in building one?
